English to Khmer (Central): The Secret Life of ‘Um’
Source text - English General
The Secret Life of ‘Um’
How filler words and tiny pauses keep conversations from going off the rails.
This precise clockwork dance that happens when people speak to each other is what N.J. Enfield, a professor of linguistics at the University of Sydney, calls the “conversation machine.” In his book How We Talk, he examines how conversational minutiae—filler words like “um” and “mm-hmm,” and pauses that are longer than 200 milliseconds—grease the wheels of this machine. In fact, he argues, these little “traffic signals” to some degree define human communication.
I hopped into the conversation machine with Enfield for a very meta chat about the big impacts of tiny words and pauses on human interaction.
Julie Beck: Can you explain what the “conversation machine” is and why it’s unique among animals?
N.J. Enfield: When we’re having a conversation, because of the entirely cooperative nature of language, we form a single unit. Certain social cognitions that humans have—the capacity to read other people’s intentions and the capacity to enter into true joint action—allow us to connect up to each other in interaction and ride along in this machine.
Obviously, animals communicate in a range of interesting and complex ways. But where I draw the line is the moral accountability that humans have in interaction. If one person doesn’t do the appropriate thing, for example not answering a question when it’s being asked, we can be held to account for that. We don’t see that in animals. [In humans], one individual can say: “Why did you say that?” Or “Please repeat that.” You don’t see animals calling others out for their failures, asking why did they say that, or could they repeat that. [What’s unique in humans] is the capacity for language to refer back to itself.

BACK TO BASICS
Spring has always struck us as a time to dispense with the clutter and pare down to only what we really need. (They don’t call it “spring cleaning” for nothing.) This year, we’re giving our closets the minimalist treatment. Classic jackets to layer, a crisp pair of white sneakers, transitional sweaters and some finely tailored Italian chino suiting are among the staples we’ll keep reaching for. But even minimalism has its limits, which is why we left room for an Italian dinner jacket woven with a little extra character. After all, we said “basics,” not “boring.”

English to Khmer (Central): God Is the Source of Man’s Life General field: Other
Source text - English Everything of this world swiftly changes with the Almighty’s thoughts and beneath His eyes. Things mankind has never heard of suddenly arrive, whereas things that mankind has long possessed unknowingly slip away. No one can fathom the Almighty’s whereabouts, much less can anyone sense the transcendence and greatness of the Almighty’s life force. He is transcendent in that He can perceive what humans cannot. He is great in that He is the One who is forsaken by mankind and yet saves mankind. He knows the meaning of life and death, and more than that, He knows what rules are appropriate for governing the existence of the mankind that He created. He is the foundation of human existence, and He is the Redeemer who resurrects mankind again. He weighs down happy hearts with sorrow and lifts up sorrowful hearts with happiness, all for the sake of His work, and for the sake of His plan.
Humanity, having strayed from the Almighty’s provision of life, is ignorant of the purpose of existence, but fears death nonetheless. They are without help or support, yet still reluctant to close their eyes, and they steel themselves to drag out an ignoble existence in this world, sacks of flesh with no sense of their own souls. You(s) live in this way, without hope, as do others, without aim. Only the Holy One of legend will save the people who, moaning in the midst of their suffering, long desperately for His arrival. So far, such belief has not been realized in those who lack consciousness. Nevertheless, the people still yearn for it so. The Almighty has mercy on these people who have suffered deeply; at the same time, He is fed up with these people who lack consciousness, as He has had to wait too long for an answer from humanity. He wishes to seek, to seek your(s) heart and your(s) spirit, to bring you(s) water and food and to awaken you(s), that you may no longer be thirsty and hungry. When you(s) are weary and when you(s) begin to feel something of the bleak desolation of this world, do not be lost, do not cry. Almighty God, the Watcher, will embrace your(s) arrival at any time. He is keeping watch by your(s) side, waiting for you(s) to turn back around. He is waiting for the day you(s) suddenly recover your memory: when you realize that you(s) came from God, that, at some unknown time you lost your direction, at some unknown time you lost consciousness on the road, and at some unknown time acquired a “father”; when you realize, furthermore, that the Almighty has always been keeping watch, waiting there a very, very long time for your(s) return. He has been watching with desperate longing, waiting for a response without an answer. His standing watch is beyond any price, and it is for the sake of the human heart and the human spirit. Perhaps this standing watch is indefinite, and perhaps it is at an end. But you(s) should know exactly where your(s) heart and your(s) spirit are right now.

Meet John and Fatima. They are aid workers, like you, who have just started working for a humanitarian organization. Everyone who works with a humanitarian organization is an aid worker, even volunteers, short-term staff, and contractors. The most important part of their job is to make sure they do no harm to the communities they serve.
The people in this community have been affected by disaster or conflict. Some people - like women, children, and people living with disabilities - may be more at risk of experiencing abuse or harm than others. John and Fatima must treat everyone in the community with respect. Aid workers must not take advantage of the communities they support. If they do, they will harm individuals, they may destroy the relationship with the community, and they may lose their jobs.
So what are some things John and Fatima should be aware of?
Aid workers like John and Fatima are in positions of power. As a Program Officer from a different part of the country, John holds power, because of his age, wealth, expertise, position, and gender. As a community mobiliser from the local community, Fatima also has power. The community sees her leading activities, working closely with other aid workers, and sharing information about resources and services.
Whether true or not, community members believe that aid workers control access to resources and services. In contrast, community members often have little control over access to those things. Because of this, people may feel they cannot say ‘no’ to anything John and Fatima ask of them. They might be afraid that if they say ‘no’, they or their families will not receive aid. John and Fatima must consider the power that people think they have. They must never abuse their power.
Aid workers can abuse their power in many ways. One of the most harmful ways is through sexual exploitation and abuse.
Sexual exploitation is when a person convinces someone with less power to participate in sexual activities. For example if an aid worker offers extra rations or money in exchange for sex. That can be sex even without physical contact, for example online or by text message.
Sexual abuse happens when a person forces someone with less power to participate in sexual activities against their will. For example if an aid worker forces someone to kiss him or participate in sexual activities with him.
To help guide aid workers like you, John, and Fatima, and keep vulnerable communities safe, there are a few important principles that all aid workers must follow:
Aid workers must always treat the local community with respect -- both during and outside working hours. Sexual exploitation and abuse threatens the dignity of people that aid workers are supposed to assist and protect.
Aid workers are not allowed to have sexual relationships with anyone under the age of 18, even if it is legal in the country. Not knowing the person’s age is not a valid excuse.
Aid workers are not allowed to pay for sex. They also cannot exchange employment, goods or services for sex, or even suggest it.
Aid workers are not allowed to have sexual relations with anyone receiving assistance, even if that person is willing.
If any of these principles are broken, humanitarian workers can be disciplined and even lose their job. In many countries, they may also face criminal prosecution.
What happens if John or Fatima, or anyone in the community, see or suspects any sexual exploitation or abuse by another aid worker?
They must report any possible or actual exploitation or abuse they have seen or heard about. They should never investigate it themselves. It is someone else's job to find out what really happened.
If aid workers like John and Fatima are scared, they can report it anonymously through their organization’s sexual exploitation and abuse focal point, or reporting mechanism. To keep that information confidential they should not discuss it with anyone else. All aid organisations should have a clear and easy way for people to share their concerns.
We want all people to be and feel safe and protected from harm. Sexual exploitation and abuse takes advantage of vulnerable people. All of us must prevent sexual exploitation and abuse. Everything that John and Fatima have learned in this video applies to you in your new role too.
If you have any questions about this training, please contact the sexual exploitation and abuse or Safeguarding Focal Person in your organization. Or you can speak to your manager, Protection, Gender Based Violence, or other Technical Lead.
